How to Remove/uninstall MailScanner !!

To remove MailScanner and the MailScanner Front-End, run these commands in shell as root:
cd /usr/mscpanel
sh uninstall.msfe.sh

cd /root
wget http://www.configserver.com/free/msinstall.tar.gz
tar -xzf msinstall.tar.gz
cd msinstall/
sh uninstall.sh
Remove the sare rules and MailScanner-specific SpamAssassin configuration files (in shell as root):
cd /etc/mail/spamassassin/
rm -fv *sare* configserver.cf mailscanner.cf
To remove the MailScanner Configuration icon from cPanel, go to WHM > Packages > Feature Manager. Edit the “disabled” Feature List and uncheck the box for MailScanner Configuration.
Remove the root cron jobs that run mscpanel.pl, sa_rules.sh (or rules_du_jour), and the cronjob that restarts clamd (in shell as root):
crontab -e
Remove the following lines (if they exist – they may or may not be there) from /scripts/postupcp:
#!/bin/sh
perl /usr/mscpanel/mscheck.pl
Reset Exim Configuration (if desired), in WHM > Exim Configuration Editor > Reset All Configs to Defaults. This is not required. To remove our install of clamav, run these commands in shell as root:
